Sublime stuff from the master of "shoegazer indietronica" Ulrich Schnauss, and Mark Peters, guitarist and songwriter with Engineers. These are two musicians blessed with the ability to create beautifully transporting music and 'Underrated Silence' finds them at their best. With an acute attention to creating the most delicate, soul-suspending moods and atmosphere, their collaborative output recalls the most memorable themes of classic electronica by Boards Of Canada, The Orb, Cocteau Twins or Slowdive, peering over lush pastoral scapes of almost bacchanalian degrees, to the kind of sonic environments we could happily book a two week holiday to, if such a thing were possible. Ultimately it's life-affirming and deeply positive music, maybe not quite deliriously happy, but content and warmly comforting, sensitively balancing melancholy moments like the Stereolab-like swoon of 'Forgotten' with the heart-melting harmonic wow and flutter of 'Yesterday Didn't Exist' , always keeping something even sweeter and more lovely up its sleeve. Includes CD version as well. Cover is damaged, but vinyl is mint.A1 The Messiah Is Falling 3:44 A2 Long Distance Call 2:53 A3 Forgotten 4:15 A4 Yesterday Didn't Exist 5:30 A5 Rosen Im Asphalt 5:35 B1 The Child Or The Pigeon 3:44 B2 Ekaterina 5:31 B3 Amoxicillin 4:20 B4 Gift Horse's Mouth 7:23 B5 Underrated Silence 6:52
